Almond Buttermilk Waffles Recipes

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

BUTTERMILK ALMOND FLOUR WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees.
• Mix all dry ingredients together in medium bowl.
• Divide the egg and place the white in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk together the egg yolk, buttermilk, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
• Add liquid ingredients to the dry mixture and stir well. Let sit 10 minutes to allow buttermilk and baking powder time to expand.
• While buttermilk-flour mixture is sitting, whip egg white until stiff peaks form.
• Fold beaten egg white into batter when its 10 minutes are up.
• Heat waffle maker and spray with non-stick spray.
• Drop about 1/2 cup batter onto the hot iron. Your waffles maker may take more or less depending on size. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
• Place cooked waffle in oven while making remainder of waffles. About 5-10 minutes in the oven gives these waffles a slightly crisp exterior closer to a standard waffle.
• Serve topped with fresh fruit and additional maple syrup.

ALMOND BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Spread the sliced almonds on a cookie sheet, and toast 325 degrees for about 5 minutes, stirring once, until they begin to get golden. Remove and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and almond extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and give it a few quick whisks just until it's all incorporated.
• Heat your waffle iron and brush with a little vegetable oil. Pour batter into the waffle iron according to the instructions for your particular iron. Ours takes just under a half cup of batter per waffle.
• Cook for a shorter time for softer waffles, longer if you like waffles with a nice little crunch.
• Top with butter and maple syrup and sprinkled with a few roasted, sliced almonds. And enjoy!
